Backend Software Engineer
About The Position
Teambridge is seeking a Senior/Lead Backend Engineer who is a critical thinker and a doer, desiring real ownership and impact, with a proven ability to ship high-quality code that performs at an enterprise scale. The engineering team operates with speed and embraces ambiguity, requiring engineers who can take rough requirements and independently scope, execute, and unblock themselves. While the core focus is backend development, engineers are expected to contribute to frontend aspects when necessary to ship features. The ideal candidate prefers shipping a solid initial version and iterating over prolonged polishing. They should possess strong, well-reasoned opinions that are open to challenge, prioritizing the best idea over seniority or volume. Direct collaboration with founders, product, and customer-facing teams is expected, along with the ability to clearly explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Adaptability and effectiveness in the face of shifting requirements are crucial. The team heavily utilizes AI coding tools, and curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn are valued more than a resume that perfectly matches every listed technology.

Nice To Haves
- 3+ years of experience with Kotlin or other JVM languages
- Prior experience with asynchronous event-based systems based on SQS, Kafka, PubSub, or similar

Responsibilities
